Benefits of technology
The patent text describes a system that allows for the integrated design of an electric plant for an industrial site. The goal is to overcome limitations and improve the overall design of the plant. The technical effect of this invention is the provision of a more efficient and effective tool for the development of industrial electric plants.
Problems solved by technology
As known, designing electrical systems for an industrial site is complex and expensive in terms of economic and human resources.
The currently available tools aiding in the stage of designing do not allow the entire procedure to be coped with as a whole and the designer must necessarily aggregate results of many processes to get an overview not only of the project, but also of the status of the work and operations related to the construction.
This problem can give rise to duplication of information, inconsistencies and errors in the processing and use of data, as well as deficiencies in the organization and execution of the work, and therefore this not infrequently causes waste of time and economic resources.

Embodiment Construction
[0020]With reference to FIG. 1, an electric plant design system 1 may conveniently comprise a central processing unit 2, of known type, connected to a plurality of terminal stations 3 over a data network 4 (for example a local network) and provided with a storage unit 5 for storing and archiving databases, as will be described in detail below.
[0021]Each terminal station 3 (not shown in detail) is managed by at least one operator and may include a processing unit for the local processing of data, a video terminal and a keyboard for displaying and inputting data, respectively, and a pointing device (typically a mouse).
[0022]As shown in FIG. 2, the central processing unit 2 and the storage unit 5 comprise a plurality of operating modules, globally indicated by reference numeral 10, and a plurality of databases, globally indicated by reference numeral 20, respectively. The operating modules 10 are intended to execute respective functions, as described below, using and / or modifying the d...

An integrated design system for an electric plant of an industrial site includes: a central processing unit; terminal stations connected to the central processing unit; and a storage unit. The central processing unit includes: a database management module to receive data from the terminals and organize the incoming data in databases; a first computing module, to determine specifications of lighting bodies to be installed according to the content of the databases; and a second computing module, cooperating with the first computing module to determine the sizing and routing of electric cables at least for the lighting bodies, according to the content of the databases. The databases include a lighting database containing values of a first set of parameters relating to environments of the industrial site.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a system for integrated design of electric plant of an industrial site, in particular a power plant.BACKGROUND ART[0002]As known, designing electrical systems for an industrial site is complex and expensive in terms of economic and human resources.[0003]In fact, there are many operations that need to be performed, among which we may list, by way of example, the sizing of the electric cables according to loads, utilities and characteristics of the system, the grouping of the electric signals within the various cables, the search of the shortest paths for routing the wirings, the management of the connections between the apparatuses to be powered and the switchboards or between the on-site instruments and the control panels.[0004]In particular, in connection with the design part related to lighting, the selection of the number and type of lighting sources is also determined by parameters that affect the visual perception, such as f...
